OPEN ALLDAY AND EVENING indays 1 t: 623 13TH ST.N.W. = = Afflicted With Aphasia. From the Hartford Courant. The case of the Rev. T. C. Hanna, the clergyman who was seized with aphasia while driving with his brother from Meri- den to Southington Thursday evening, April 15, still excites the greatest wonder- Ment among the people, and is a complete puzzle to the physicians. As has been stated, kis malady takes the form of com- plete forgetfulness of any subject prior to that date, and his own identity seems as completely shrouded as any insignificant fact. He has to learn anew the meaning of the simplest words, as, for instance, in speaking of ‘crowds’ he looked up quickly and asked what “crowds” were. He has no recoliection of ever preaching, and when told nods his head as {f it was a fact to be taken for granted. He knows nothing of the locality wh.re he preached. He retains to a remarkable degree all statements made in his presence, therefore it ts diftl- cuit to dectde whether he remembers any- thing before his troubles came on or not. Dr. Osborne, who was well known to him previcusiy, came in one day and sald to him, “Don't you know me?” Mr. Hanna ook his head. ‘My rame {s Osborne. Dr. Osborne— O-S—O—S." Some one calling his atten- ion away for the moment, he did not finish the spelling of his own name. The next judge of the physician's astonish- ment when the patient, on the doctor’s ar- rival, cordially advanced and shook hands with him, addressing him as “Dr. Oz," but added, “Mrs. Cook (his landlady) says Dr. Osborne.” The doctor wrote on a picce of Paper the sentence, “Have you any pain?’ The nex: day Mr. Hanna handed him the paper with the sentence written under it ih exactly the same handwriting, which is very different from his own, the same sen- tence, copying his landlady’s writing in very precise form.

BUT PUBLIC SENTIMENT IS WITH THEM Stephen Crane Writes of the Ob- stacles in Their Way. DETECTIVES AS MARSHALS Written for The Evening Star. Since this little southern city has become the center of the filibustering industry in the United States, there has been consider- able excitement here of many different kinds. ‘[he town is really pro-Cuban in the most headlong fashion, and a rumor of an expedition can turn people out into the streets. If, for instance, the Three Friends happens to raise its long mournful whistle over the town at some sleepy midnight, it is cause for the most excited discussion whether the Three Friends be bound for Cuba or bound for some stranded schooner. Whea it is said in the south that the pub- lic is in favor of a certain cause, that statement counts for a great deal, because in the south there are many questions which are decided by the public will. In New York, for instance, it is of no im- pertance to say that public opinion is in favor of a certain cause; in New York pub- lic opinion has nothing to do with affairs, ur less, indeed, it should happen to really assert itself about once in ten years. A Jacksonville attorney being in Wash- ington, held a talk with a certain promi- nent government official. So you come from Florida, do you?” said the official. “Why, you fellows aren't in the United States at all down there, are you?" “I never heard that, exactly,” Jacksonville attorney, “but I that you fellows up here are all Spaniards.” As this was during the last administca- tion, the remark was not understood by the government official. The first people to invade the south after the practice of filibustering became popular among a certain adventurous class were Pinkerton detectives. They came like lions rearing. They were going to devour the filibustering industry. Oh, they knew that sert of trick, they did, and it must stop. That fs all there was about it; they were there to stop it, and it must stop. Their chests were pushed out until they could not see their feet, and they expected people in their Sunday clothés to turn out upon their arrival, and opera glasses to go up to $700 a@ pair. He Was a Pink. But all this changed when they went away. They marched meekly and in si- lence, and Florida knew their glory no more. In the first place a detective went to the chief of police, and, standing before him, made some mystic taik. “Well,” said the chief, “what is the mat- ter with you?" Why, don’t you know me?” said the replied the chief. 1am a P 2 ‘aid the chief. ben ief surveyed him coldly and sald: “You may be a daisy, but I don’t where you come in as a pink.” hy, I mean a Pinkerton detective; don’t you see?” “Oh,” said the chief, and after waiting a time he asked, “Well, what do you want?” The Pinkerton man stated then what he wished done by the local police to assisi Spain, and incidentally, of course, to help the Pinkertons. He ended by asking for a permit to carry a revolver. “What do you want of a revolver?" asked the chief. ‘obody’s going to burt you, is there; you don't want any revolver down here; if you don’t get fresh nobody will bother you, and if anybody molests you unlawfully call an officer. That is why we have a police force down here.” The man departed. Later in their busi- ness of shadowing various citizens they were let in for a good deal of woe. The men of these parts objected to their shad- ows and curlous adventures were thereby the lot of some of the detectives. In one case two of them were arrested aS vagrants ard held over night in the city jail. This was when a detective was simply an emi. sary of Spain. Later the fair-minded ministration at Washington found a way to circumvent the difficulties which con- fronted the detectives in Florida. In short, they made them United States marshals, and we then had a view of a wondrous creation —an Americo-Spanish two-priced poiltical monstrosity. Of all the public works perfomed by the late administra- tion this will probably endure the longest. Armed with the position of United States marshai, the paid spies of Spain were en- abled to perform their wonders with some success and in safety. Some of the citi- zens of Jacksonville had resented the Pink- erton detective precisely as they would re- sent any other kind of insult; but a United States marshal was another matter. The Filibusters, The three vessels which have made them- seives great names because of their serv- ice to the Cubans are the Dauntless, the Three Friends and the Commodore, which was lately foundered at sea. In fact, the reputation of these crafts {s so enormous and world-wide that it seems that a sight of them almost invariably creates a grin. As a matter of truth, the Three Friends and the Dauntless are merely what would be called in the north seagoing tugs, and small ones at that. They are larger than the ordinary North river tug, but a New York seagoing tug like the Sea King fs a monster to them. The Commodore was sirply a fishing steamer, what is called in northern waters a menhaden pirate. And yet it is certainly true that they are as well or even better known than the battle ships of the United States navy. When it is reported here in Jacksonville that an expedition is about to start for Cuba on one of these vessels it 1s an easy thing \o pick up a crew. Men jump at the chance. Fillbustering is as near perhaps to the times celebrated by Charles Kingsley as we get in this day of other predominant ideals. ‘The romance of it catches the heart of the The same lad who longs to embark to fight Indians and to be a pirate on his owr account longs to embark secretly at midnight on one of these dangerous trips to the Cuban coast. If there can only be muffled oars involved in some manner in the trip and perhaps some dark figure who hisses “Silence” at the critical time, it is still more to the mind of the lad. Moreover, as far as the men who engage in it for commercial rea- sons are concerned, the pay is very good. Obstacles In the Way. Of late filibustering from the coast of Flerida has been oppressed with many mere difficulties than usual. The revenue cutters have been reinforced by a formid- able squadron of United States warships, and the officers of these vessels are most industrious and painstaking in their ef- forts to catch any breakers of the law. it is not believed their hearts are in their business particularly, but they are firm in their intenuicns of obeying their in- strvctions absolutely. If a@ man-of-war cheses a filioustering craft there can be no doubt that more than half the men on her wish to see the little boat escape, but that would not prevent them from firing away with a “long " as busily as bees. Wher the Commodore went down the river once, openly cleared for Cuba, she ran in the mud about two miles below Jacksonville. Word was sent to the cap- tain of the revenue cutter Boutwell, and the old craft came lumbering down the river, got a line to the Commodore and dragged her out of the mud. The Boutwell then escorted the Commodore down the river, and at the bar bade her a genial bon voyage, and the veteran captain of Uncle Sam's craft bowed from his quarter- deck and gave the men of the Commodore the lest salute which man; the way, ever heard. As t was openly cleared for Cuba under the de- cision of the Supreme Court, a loyal of the government could show see would cause ‘Tui scowling lke a Turk, simply be- it was his business to scowl like a Hew is It Done? It ts not to be supposed that the ma- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1897-14 PAGES. chinery of the fillbustering business can be disclosed at this time. Of course, the natural question is; “How do they do it?” Nevertheless it is impossible that the pub- lic should know the interior of this thing now precisely as it is impossible that the public should know the inside of important diplomatic operations when they are in actual process: There fs many a tale Row held back by men who would like to talk for pride’s sake, for they are proud of the cunning of the arrangements, proud of outwitting the force of a nation, of two nations. These men—simple American bus- iness men, for the most part—have stump- ed civilization. They insist on committing @ political crime, aad it would be absurd to say that they are any more than annoyed by the agencies pitted against them. The filibusters began by letting the news- Paper men into the secret of events to a large degree. Responsibility is so ar- ranged upon the shoulders of the average correspondent that it is more cruel than kind to burden him with facts of vast po- litical significance. As far as go personal or social facts, the average reporter knows enough to damn a continent, and these he keers in silence for many reasons of sense ard rule and still other reasons. But the rerorters’ business is to disclose, disclose, disclose. A newspaper article is purely a disclosure of certain facts concerning a certain -association of to people who would never know otherwise or care, usually. The reporter is not.to be pre- sented with valued facts in the way that a in tells a friend certain affairs belong- ing strictly to himself. The friend can have no obligation, whereas the time, perchance, may arrive when the reporter is confront- ed by his obligation to his employer, and although naturally as a man he then lets his obligation to his employer go to the eternal blazes, yet the confidential man has done him a wrong in forcing him into this position. Journalistic Responsibility. So the filibusters began by letting more or less newspaper men into the mystery of the process, and they are more or less sorry for it. Some of the newspaper men have not let their Obligations to their em- Ployers go to the etefnal blazes. They have peached; that is the whole amount of it, they have peached. And peached in a@ way to deal havoc to parts of this de- licious bit of outlawry in the evening of the nineteenth century. Correspondents who applied to the filibusters for passage to Cuba's insurgents’ camps, and who were granted this privilege, through friendly Cubans and because it was the opinion that their pens would assist this cause, these men have been men beyond all others who have cursed many expeditions with the curse of an early telegraphic ac- count. It is they beyond all others who aroused Madrid to - bluffing a lambent American administration out of its very underwear and to the point where it pre- ferred to violate the Constitution of the United States rather than be frightened still more by this terrible Madrid. ‘They caused the Washington of that time to exhibit its willingness to smash every law of the land rather than have trouble with Spain. The administration of that time admitted it, not publicly, per- haps, but in a way that the telegraph com- pany could preserve a record of it. The ccrrespondents, with their disclosures, crowded that administration into a corner where it could not face the situation man- fully. It weakened and crawled and de- parted finally in popular disgrace. “Break a law to keep a law” is the pre- cept which newspaperdom unconsciously thrust down the throat of a national ad- ministration. And yet the Cuban cause gained its way to the popular heart through this very indulgence to the newspaper men. STEPHEN CRANE. — a WORK OF THE COUNCIL. Mt. Vernon Association Holds Closing Session Today. As already outlined in The Star, the council of the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Asso- ciation is giving great attention to contem- Plated restorations. One of the most im- portant will be the repainting of the walls and the paneling of the hail, now papered and painted a dingy oak color. Where the Paper and paint have been scraped off it is found that the hall of the Mt. Vernon man- sion was originally painted buff, with the woodwork white, and these effects will be restored during the coming summer. The restoration of the greenhouse was ccmpleted last year, through the efforts of the fermer vice regent from Ohio, Mrs. Abney. Mr. Franklin Whelan, the gardener, has been very successful in his work and in restoring the old-time features of his de- partment. Roses and old-fashioned shrubs and blossoms are now in their prime. The Mary Washington rose, however, has rt yet commenced to bloom. An interesting reltc, in the shape of an ink blotter, a sand box, once used by Gen. Washington, has been added to the collec- tion. It was presented through the vice regent for Rhode Island. The concluding sessions of the council will probably be held today, and will close one of the most satisfactory and interest- ing mectings it has ever held. Its FREE. Latest Charge Against Her Dismissed Without a Trial. The now almost famous Annie Neuhaus case was again brought to notice last night by the third arrest of the girl. She was taken into custody on a warrant issued by a@ justice of the peace, on the oath of Mr. St. Clair Fechner, grand larceny being the charge. The details of the case have been fully published in The Star. The lat- est phase of the affair will not get into court, however, for Assistant District At- torney Mullowny today nolle prossed the charge. “There was no just reason for again ar- resting the girl,” said her attorney, Mr. Alexander Wolf, to a Star reporter. “‘After her first arrest, Judge Miller, in the Police Court, investigated the ci at great length, and concluded that the best. course to take would be to release her on per- sonal bonds, and he acted accordingly. A second time she was arrested, and Chief Justice Bingham of the District Supreme Court looked into the matter. He also re- leased Miss Neuhaus. She has steady em- ployment now, and the district attorney agreed with me that it was proper not to call this latest arrest to the attention of the court, as nothing rew has developed against the girl.” ‘All I wish to say about the case,” said Mr. Fechner, when seen this afternoon, “is that I have no desire to prosecute’ the girl or send her to prison. I have learned recently that she still has more than three hundred articles belonging to me. They are of great value, and, if returned, that will end the affair, so far as I am concerned.” —_>___ A Thrifty Colored Farmer. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Barton F. Powell, a colored man of Al- bany, Ga., can give his race poinis on get- ting ahead in the world. He saved $2,000 in twelve years and bought 500 acres. He put ten inen to work, got the farm in good order, planted cotton, corn and sugar cane and cleared the first year $2,500. He bas ccntinued to add to his landed possessions, paying spot cash for every farm purchased, and is now the owner of 2,100 acres of land, frem which he markets 400 bales of cotton arnually. Besides his success on the farm he has developed the country supply store idea, and thus rakes in thousands of dollars @ year. He also owns @ comfortable resi- dence in Bainbridge. His profits last year were over $7,000. — +o Longest Distance of Human Vision. From the Chicago Record, ‘The longest distance ever encompassed by the human vision, so far as the records go, is 183 miles, between the Uncompahgre Peak in Colorado and Mount Ellen in Utah.

Stewart) after a session of three hours, reacheif' the conclusion that the deceased came to his death through causes unknown to the jury, the evidence being regarded as not suffictent to hold Michael Donoghue responsible for the kill- ing. Immediately after the verdict was reached Donoghue was discharged from custody, and recefved the congratulations of a host of his friends, who remained around the station during the progress of the inquest. The jury consisted of Messrs. William Orondorf, foreman; Robert Pettit, William Stevens, Frank Thomas, H. C. Brawner and Harry Chick. The panel was sworn in ever the remains at the residence of the father of the deceased; at 3ith and P streets, and then returned to the station to hear the evidence. There was a large number of witnesses, but very little direct testimony was given. Dr. William W. Wood, the attending phy- sician, was the, first witness, and he told of the condition of the patient. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner, who per- formed the autopsy, gave the result of his examination, describing several bruises on the body, and stating that the bladder of the deceased was ruptured badly, there being a crack measuring several inches in length on the top. The other organs of the deceased were in remarkably gqod condi- tion, and the witness stated that the de- ceased was the most healthy man he had ever examined. The father of the dead man, Mr. Ran- dolph Stewart, was called to the stand, but his testimony was not taken. Marion Stewart, a brother of the deceased, testi- fied to sceirg bis brother run from Donog- ite 36th street, and then fall over. Wit- Pose stated that his brother told him that Mike Donoghue had kicked him and knocked him down, adding: “It was a dirty trick, too, wasn’t it?” Mr. Birney, counsel for Etep prlecuer, ob- cted to this testimony, but after some ralscumlon the corener decided to admit it. Eddie Williams of 3222 O street, aged ten years, said he raw Donoghue on top of Stewart in the former’s house, and that Mrs. Donoghue pulled her son off of him. Harry Armstrong, aged fourteen, of 3627 © street testified that he saw the two to- gether. Mrs. Donoghue was holding her son, while Stewart was prostrate on the nd. SYeaac Brantzell of 1417 34th street tes- tified to having seen Stewart. Witness was with a number of other boys playing ball in a vacant lot, when some one yelled “fight,” and all ran to Donoghue's house. Mrs. Ellen O'Neill, a sister of the prisoner, said that Stewart and Donoghue came to the house about 4 o'clock in the afternoon just as she was leaving. They appeared to be good friends. Henriette Hunt, a colored washer woman, who was working at the hopise at the tim claimed to know very little of the o currenc Danie Stewart up from the rock: emy wall, and with Dan Connors, carried him to the home of his brother. Stewart appeared to be in great, pain. Policeman John Sullivan said he talked with Stewart, and the latter stated tWat Ke was sick and drunk. yi Miss Blanche Stewart, a sister of the dead man, testified that Her brother told her last Wednesday that he,had a “terrible kick from Mike Doi that will kill me.” Shortly befor ldeath the de- ceased exclaimed, “My God}, My God! That kick will kill me,” and a is hard to die from that lick.’ Ellen Spates of 3403 Pyatireet, who was with the deceased when death occurred, cor- roborated some of, . Stewatt adalaig’ tbat! Stewart scious to the last. On his own, behalf Donoghue told the story that was published in ‘The Star yes- terday, with the exception that he did not see Stewart at 37th. street and the Canal road. At the inquest yesterday ne stated that he was drunk at McCarthy's saloon, at 4th and M streets, and a brother came af- ter him with ‘a wagon, taking him home. He was sitting on a sofa when Stewart came in. The statement of the prisoner was voluntary, and he was not put under oath. Though a number of witnesses had been summoned by the defense, no other testimony was heard, and the jury, after deliberating for fully fifteen minutes, brought in the verdict. The funeral of Stewart was held this morning at 9 from Trinity Catholi¢ Church with a solemn mass of requiem. It was largely attended, despite the. inclemency of the weather. The mass was celebrated by Rev. Father O'Connell, assistant pastor of St. Stephen's Church, while Rev. Father McCarthy delivered an excellent sermon. He spoke of the many good traits of the deceased, his good-heartedness and gener- osity, which seemed to more than outweigh his one failing. His remarks were very tcuching, and brought tears to the eyes of many. The interment was at Holy Rood cemetery. Coons, colored, testified to picking sear the acad- was co! Raised the Fing. American Guard Council, No. 1, United American Mechanics, yesterday raised the American flag on the: Threlkeld school building, at the corner of 36th street ind Prospect avenue, with imposing and pa- triotic ceremonies. The members of the council early began to gather in groups around their hall on 3ist street below M street, waiting for the hour set for the pa- race. Company H of the Western High School Cadets, under Capt. Smoot, arrived at the hall shortly before the hour of the starting to act as escort to the council. Promptly at 3 o'clock the line formed, 12d by the Second Regiment National Guard Band, with S. H. Sherwood as marshal, assisted by Ezra Troth and T. M. Crown. The march was down M street to 2th street, to street, to 32d street, to Q street, to 35th street, to O street, to 36th street and to the school building at the cerner of Prospect avenue, where the ex- excises were held. és Prof. B.

After the overture by the band the address of welcome was made by Master Walter Schutt of the school.

An Ex-Army Officer as Counsel and an Admiral of the Navy in the Witness Box. What might properly be described as a state of open warfare has existed for sev- eral months past between Policeman L. J. Brennan and the cabmen who occupy the stand near Dupont Circle. On complaint of Brennan a large number of drivers of Public vehicles have been in court at inter- vals since January 1 last, charged with va- rious violations of the police regulations. The cabmen claim that the arrests were the result of spite work on the part of the Policeman, and the latter was before the 1 board recently at their instance. Hostilities were renewed today, when Policeman Brennan took Ross Selman into court and charged him with obstructing the free passage of an alley in the rear of P street. Selman is the proprietor of a livery stable, and a driver in his empioy was arrested by Brennan a few days ago and fined in court. The policeman testified that at all times carriages owned by Selman obstruct the alley, and he was corroborated vy several witnesses who have occasion to daily pass through there. Capt. Fuller, formerly an officer in the United States army, endeavored without cessation to show malice on the part of the policeman, alleging that he had been fined and reprimanded by the police trial board for persecuting the hackmen. Such state- ments and questions, however, were ruled by the court to be irrelevant. When the last witness for the prosecutiun took the stand the hearing assumed an teresting phase. The witness was Co mander Hemphill of the United States navy the rear of whose residence is near Sel man’s stable. In many respects the testi- mony of Commander Hemphill was similar to that of the other witnesses. In addition, he said that his fence has been injured and shutters torn from his back building con- stantly by loads of hay on the way to Sel- man’s stable. “In order to show the nature of this wit- ness, your honor,” said Capt. Fuller, late of the army, of Commander Hemphill of the navy, “and to demonstrate that he is possessed of an ungovernable temper, I will say that he has challenged me to fight a duel. I did not accept, merely out of com- passion for him. “Thanks,” remarked Commander Hemp- hill, with a smile that some folks would have considered sarcastic. “This case, on the t of the defense, has become ridiculous,” sald Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, rising; “‘and, your honor, I must object to further proceedings of this character.” Selman took the stand in his own behalf and endeavored to show that he had not violated the law, and a witness, Rufus Mil- ler, made statements that tended to show a Proper state of affairs in the alley, Capt. Fuller then addressed the court, arguing that Selman had not knowingly violated the law, and that the violation, if such, had caused no inconvenience. Ho spoke at length about malice, reiterating that the arrest was spite work on the part of Policeman Brennan. It was intimated that Brennan would be prosecuted for per- jury, alleged to have been committed in connection with the hearing. Prosecuting Attorney Push then made the most spirited speeches heard in the Police Court for a long time, aandling the case and its details without gloves. “A great deal has been said this morning about spite work,” said Mr. Pugh. “If there is any spite work, it is clearly on the part of the attorney for the cefendant. In every one of the twelve or fifteen cases against these hackmen Captain Fuller has appeared as attorney. I might say way it is that he is retained, but I do not care to indulge in personalities. “Your honor is aware that he has not appeared in any other case in this court, and he has concertrated his efforts against Policeman Brennan. “Not a contention advanced by Captain Fuller in any one of these cases,” con- tinued Mr. Pugh, “has been sustained. In fact, he has been turned down by every tribunal before which he has appeared, and all his clients have been convicted. He is the only one, I submit, who exhibits any malice. “Your honor, I—” began Captain Ful- ler, but Mr. Pugh was on his feet instantly. “I have the right to said the prosecuting attorn clused. The other side has no right to y another word.” “I just want to say, your honor— tin Fuller began, whereupon Mr. Pugh almost shouted: “I submit that that is contempt of court. You have been told to take your seat. If you say another word I shall ask for the imposition of a fine.” Captain Fuller made no further effort to address the court, and Judge Kimball pro- ceeded to dispose of the case. In making the arrest Policeman Brennan merely dis- charged his duty, remarked Judge Kim- ball, and it was the intention of the court to uphold him in so doing. The usual fine in such cases was $5, but he would require Selman to pay double that amount. The fine was paid.
